Has anyone been to www.newtgingrich.com?     http://www.highervisibility.com/blog/democratic-group-owns-newtgingrich-com-domain-name/ With the Presidential Race heating up, a Democratic opposition research group named American Bridge 21st Century announced on Wednesday that they are the owners of the domain name NewtGingrich.com. This is most certainly a blow to the Gingrich campaign as the Democratic group is redirecting visitors to websites that remind people of all the negative things about Newt Gingrich. When I said websites I meant websites. They will redirect you to one of several sites that will refresh a bad memory about Newt Gingrich over the years. Some of the sites include Freddiemac.com, Tiffanys.com, a Greek Travel website, and even a website that says the odds of Newt being elected are slim. This story gets a little more interesting in the fact that this group would potentially be willing to sell the website. In a press release they state “We’re asking for $1 million, but we’d be happy to accept $500,000 in bling. Heck in the spirit of Christmas we might even let it go for $10,000.” I wonder how willing they would be to selling the website to Newt himself. I am sure there are several political groups on both sides that would love a shot at getting this domain name. American Bridge posted an ad on Craigslist to sell the domain. This ad has since been removed. I have a feeling this is all to bring attention to the website and there is no real serious attempt at selling. I am sure Newt’s campaign staff has looked into all options of obtaining control of this domain. This will be fun to monitor as the elections draw closer. At first I didn`t get it.Thought there`d be a single page trashing newt. But it`s just adverts....for Greek cruises and Tiffanys etc.....hilarious.
